 * I’m a WordPress newb working with a site that I inherited, so somethings aren’t
   making sense. Pages that have been on the site since it’s creation have a formatted
   paragraph style that, when formatted, shows up in the code and in published. 
   However, new pages I make, even when formatted with that paragraph style don’t
   get formatted with the correct font and code. I’m using Agency Child Theme, and
   I know a minimal amount about stylesheets to know that every solution I’ve seen
   on the internet thus far has not worked.
 * Can anyone tell me how to make it where when I format the text by using the drop
   down box and selecting “Paragraph” that it will make it automatically format 
   to the font I want?
 * Here’s what the correct code looks like:
    “<span style=”font-family: georgia,
   palatino;”><b><span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Education </span></b>
   <i>J.D.</i><i></i>, University of Mississippi School of Law – May 2016</span>
   <span style=”font-family: georgia, palatino;”> <i>B. Accy. in Accountancy</i>,
   University of Mississippi – May 2013</span>”
 * and the incorrect code:
    “<b></b>_J.D._, The University of Mississippi School
   of Law – May” 2017
